In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, workers at left check instruments during a lighting test on the solar panels of the <a href="http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/captions/subjects/stardust.htm"> Stardust</a>spacecraft. Stardust is scheduled to be launched aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket from Launch Pad 17A, Cape Canaveral Air Station, on Feb. 6, 1999, for a rendezvous with the comet Wild 2 in January 2004. Stardust will use a substance called aerogel to capture comet particles flying off the nucleus of the comet, plus collect interstellar dust for later analysis. The collected samples will return to Earth in a sample return capsule (its white cap is seen on the near end of the spacecraft) to be jettisoned as it swings by Earth in January 2006 KSC-99pc46
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Multi-Payload Processing Facility, workers check a GetAway Special canister (GAS can) being moved onto the Hitchhiker Bridge. The bridge is a carrier for the Fast Reaction Experiments Enabling Science, Technology, Applications and Research (FREESTAR) that incorporates eight high priority secondary attached shuttle experiments on mission STS-107. A research mission, the primary payload is the first flight of the SHI Research Double Module (SHI/RDM), also known as SPACEHAB. The experiments range from material sciences to life sciences (many rats). STS-107 is scheduled to launch July 11, 2002 KSC-02pd0414

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Workers in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility are preparing to determine weight and center of gravity for the Mars Exploration Rover 2 (MER-2). NASA's twin Mars Exploration Rovers are designed to study the history of water on Mars. These robotic geologists are equipped with a robotic arm, a drilling tool, three spectrometers, and four pairs of cameras that allow them to have a human-like, 3D view of the terrain. Each rover could travel as far as 100 meters in one day to act as Mars scientists' eyes and hands, exploring an environment where humans can't yet go. Launch of MER-2 is scheduled for June 5 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

Summary
Staff Members from the Hampton Roads Naval Museum enjoyed a Command and Control themed tour aboard the USS Wisconsin (BB 64). The tour was coordinated by Darcy Sink, the museum’s Volunteer Coordinator and the tour was conducted by volunteers from Nauticus and the Battleship Wisconsin. The Wisconsin is one of four Iowa-Class Battleships that was commissioned during WWII; she, along with her sister ships are all preserved as museum ships across the country. The Wisconsin is moored permanently next to the Hampton Roads Naval Museum and Nauticus as a museum ship. Access to the ship is by admission via Nauticus; however the Hampton Roads Naval Museum (part of the Naval History and Heritage Command) retains the ability to host military ceremonies aboard the ship for area commands. To inquire about a military ceremony aboard the ship, contact their Special Events Coordinator at Thomas.Dandes@navy.mil or at (757) 322-3106. To inquire about volunteering with the museum, contact their Volunteer Coordinator at Darcy.Sink@navy.mil or at (757) 322-2992. (US Navy Photo by Emma Hummer/Released).
This image dataset is generated from the world's largest public domain image archive. Made in two steps (manually curated set, and following image recognition), it comprises of more than 100,000 images of military ceremonies from different countries and times. All media is in the public domain, so there is no limitation on the dataset usage - educational, scientific, or commercial. Please contact us if you need a dataset like this, we may already have it, or, we can make one for you, often in 24 hours or less.
